  • Structural, Spectroscopic, and Mechanistic Insights Into the Three Phases of Nitrification Metallobiochemistry
    STRUCTURAL, SPECTROSCOPIC, AND MECHANISTIC INSIGHTS INTO THE THREE PHASES OF NITRIFICATION METALLOBIOCHEMISTRY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy | Chemistry and Chemical Biology By Meghan Anne Smith August 2018 © 2018 Meghan Anne Smith STRUCTURAL, SPECTROSCOPIC, AND MECHANISTIC INSIGHTS INTO THE THREE PHASES OF NITRIFICATION METALLOBIOCHEMISTRY Meghan Anne Smith, Ph. D. Cornell University 2018 Biological ammonia (NH3) oxidation, referred to as nitrification, is a critical part of the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. Nitrification is mediated by both bacteria and – archaea to ultimately oxidize NH3 to nitrite (NO 2 ), though there are also complete NH3-oxidizing (comammox) bacteria capable of oxidizing NH3 completely to nitrate – (NO3 ). In addition to these products, nitrification is also a major source of the by- products and environmental pollutants nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Many steps of biological nitrification, including those leading to the production of these harmful products, are not currently clear; however, the work presented in this dissertation describes recent efforts and discoveries towards a complete understanding of the nitrification pathway. This process begins in both bacteria and archaea with the enzyme ammonia monooxygenase (AMO), which oxidizes NH3 to hydroxylamine (NH2OH). There exist two metal-binding sites in AMO of interest as these are highly conserved in AMOs and related enzymes. The true active site of this enzyme remains in debate, but here we show that both sites must remain intact for effective catalysis. In bacteria, the formed NH2OH is further oxidized to NO by the enzyme NH2OH oxidoreductase (HAO), though prior convention stated – that HAO was able to oxidize NH2OH fully to NO2 .

  • Metagenome-Scale Analysis Yields Insights Into the Structure And
    Zhang et al. BMC Genetics (2016) 17:21 DOI 10.1186/s12863-016-0330-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Metagenome-scale analysis yields insights into the structure and function of microbial communities in a copper bioleaching heap Xian Zhang1,2, Jiaojiao Niu1,2, Yili Liang1,2, Xueduan Liu1,2 and Huaqun Yin1,2* Abstract Background: Metagenomics allows us to acquire the potential resources from both cultivatable and uncultivable microorganisms in the environment. Here, shotgun metagenome sequencing was used to investigate microbial communities from the surface layer of low grade copper tailings that were industrially bioleached at the Dexing Copper Mine, China. A bioinformatics analysis was further performed to elucidate structural and functional properties of the microbial communities in a copper bioleaching heap. Results: Taxonomic analysis revealed unexpectedly high microbial biodiversity of this extremely acidic environment, as most sequences were phylogenetically assigned to Proteobacteria,whileEuryarchaeota-related sequences occupied little proportion in this system, assuming that Archaea probably played little role in the bioleaching systems. At the genus level, the microbial community in mineral surface-layer was dominated by the sulfur- and iron-oxidizing acidophiles such as Acidithiobacillus-like populations, most of which were A. ferrivorans-like and A. ferrooxidans-like groups. In addition, Caudovirales were the dominant viral type observed in this extremely environment. Functional analysis illustrated that the principal participants related to the key metabolic pathways (carbon fixation, nitrogen metabolism, Fe(II) oxidation and sulfur metabolism) were mainly identified to be Acidithiobacillus-like, Thiobacillus-like and Leptospirillum-like microorganisms, indicating their vital roles. Also, microbial community harbored certain adaptive mechanisms (heavy metal resistance, low pH adaption, organic solvents tolerance and detoxification of hydroxyl radicals) as they performed their functions in the bioleaching system.

  • Maximum Likelihood Placement of Environmental DNA Sequence Reads Into Curated Reference Phylogenies
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2011 MLTreeMap - maximum likelihood placement of environmental DNA sequence reads into curated reference phylogenies Stark, Manuel Abstract: Bei der Erforschung von mikrobiellen Gemeinschaften in situ stösst die traditionelle Mikrobi- ologie an ihre Grenzen, weil nur ein verschwindend kleiner Teil der Mikroben in Reinkultur gezu! chtet werden kann. Die Idee diesen Engpass zu umgehen, indem man DNA direkt aus aus der Umwelt extrahiert und daraufhin sequenziert, fu! hrte zur Entstehung eines neuen Forschungsfeldes, der Metagenomik. Mit Hilfe des metagenomischen Ansatzes ist es möglich, objektive Informationen u! ber alle in einer Probe präsenten Mikroben zu erhalten. Ein gewichtiger Nachteil ist allerdings, dass die gewonnenen Sequenz- daten nur fragmentiert vorliegen. MLTreeMap, das in dieser Dissertation vorgestellt wird, ist ein Soft- warepaket, welches in der Metagenomik Anwendung findet. Es wurde entwickelt, um Einblicke indie phylogenetischen und funktionellen Eigenschaften von Metagenomen und den ihnen zugrundeliegenden mikrobiellen Gemeinschaften zu gewinnen. Hierfür werden die zur Diskussion stehenden DNA Sequenzen auf eine Reihe von relevanten Markergenen hin durchsucht und deren wahrscheinlichste phylogenetische Herkunft ermittelt. Zu diesen Genen gehören proteinkodierende phylogenetische Marker, 16S und 18S rRNA Gene und Marker für wichtige Stoffwechselwege. Beispiele für letztere sind die Gene der Schlüsse- lenzyme der Photosynthese, Stickstofffixierung, Methanfixierung und Ammoniakoxidation. MLTreeMap kann entweder direkt über das Web benutzt werden (http://mltreemap.org) oder aber auf einem lokalen Computer installiert werden. Wir veröffentlichten MLTreeMap im Jahr 2010 im Journal BMC Genomics. Traditional microbiology has proven to be insufficient for studying entire microbial communities in situ, because only a small fraction of microbes can be grown in pure culture.

Name: Trevar Lytle Date of Degree: MAY 2020 Title of Study: MOLECULAR METHODS TO DETECT REGULATORY GENES IN ANAEROBIC AMMONIA OXIDIZING BACTERIA Major Field: Civil and Environmental Engineering Abstract: Anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria (anammox) are a group of bacteria capable - + of using nitrite (NO 2 ) as their electron acceptor and ammonium (NH 4 ) as their electron donor to produce Nitrogen gas (N 2) in anaerobic environments. This is the ANAMMOX reaction. In this process, there is a 50-60% reduction in energy requirements, less sludge production, and does not require BOD compared to traditional nitrogen removal processes. The ANAMMOX discovery is credited to the work of Dr. Arnold Mulder who found that decreasing ammonium and nitrite concentrations were coupled with the release of N 2.

  • Contribution of Microbe-Mediated Processes in Nitrogen Cycle to Attain 13 Environmental Equilibrium
    Contribution of Microbe-Mediated Processes in Nitrogen Cycle to Attain 13 Environmental Equilibrium Humera Quadriya, Mohammed Imran Mir, K. Surekha, S. Gopalkrishnan, M. Yahya Khan, Sushil K. Sharma, and Hameeda Bee Abstract Nitrogen (N), the most important element, is required by all living organisms for the synthesis of complex organic molecules like amino acids, proteins, lipids etc. Nitrogen cycle is considered to be the most complex yet arguably important cycle next to carbon cycle. Nitrogen cycle includes oxic and anoxic reactions like organic N mineralization, ammonia assimilation, nitrification denitrification, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox), dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), comammox, codenitrification etc. Nitrogen cycling is one of the most crucial processes required for the recycling of essential chemical requirements on the planet. Soil microorganisms not only improve N-cycle balance but also pave the way for sustainable agricultural practices, leading to improved soil properties and crop productivity as most plants are opportunistic in the uptake of soluble or available forms of N from soil. Microbial N transformations are influenced by plants to improve their nutrition and vice versa. Diverse microorganisms, versatile metabolic activities, and varied biotic H. Quadriya · H.

In this paper, a plausible mechanism for the origin of anammoxosome is proposed, in which anaerobic archaea with capability of metabolizing ammonium and nitrite are thought to gain advantages for survival with reciprocal metabolisms and eventually established as stable endosymbiont under the given environmental conditions by invading into a bacterial cell. Over the long-time specialization and lateral gene transfer during the endosymbiosis establishment, the original archaea might further devolve into the present anammoxosome inside the host to form the structure of anammox bacteria today.

  • Lower Soil Carbon Loss Due to Persistent Microbial Adaptation to Climate Warming
    Lower Soil Carbon Loss Due to Persistent Microbial Adaptation to Climate Warming Supplementary Figures and Tables Fig. S1. Warming effects on plant and soil variables. (a) Effects of warming on aboveground - + plant biomass from C 3, C 4 and total species; ( b) Soil pH; (c) Soil nitrate (NO 3 ), ammonia (NH 4 ), total N (TN) and total organic carbon (TOC) across 7 years. Error bars represent standard error of the mean (n = 28). The differences between warming and the control were tested by repeated- measures ANOVA, indicated by *** when p < 0.01, ** when p < 0.05. Fig. S2. Temporal change of soil respiration (R t), heterotrophic respiration (R h) and autotrophic respiration (R a) from 2010 to 2016 . The respiration values were displayed as mean ± standard error ( n = 4). Fig. S3. Flowcharts of ecosystem models. (a) Microbial-ENzyme Decomposition (MEND) model. Soil organic matter (SOM) pools include: particulate organic matter (POM) (e.g., POM decomposed by oxidative and hydrolytic enzymes, denoted by P1 and P2 in the governing equations, respectively), mineral-associated organic matter (MOM, denoted by M), dissolved organic matter (DOM, D), adsorbed phase of DOM (QOM, Q), active and dormant microbes (MBA and MBD, denoted by BA & BD ), POM-degraded enzymes (e.g., EP 1 and EP 2 that break down P1 and P2, respectively), and MOM-degraded enzymes ( EM ). (b) Terrestrial ECOsystem (TECO) model. Fig. S4. A scatterplot of BIOLOG metabolic profiles under warming and control in 2016. Values close to the reference line (red) are in good agreement with the control values. Values above the reference line have an enhanced ability to utilize that carbon source in the warmed plots, value below have an inhibited ability in the warmed plots.
